Save is a combination function. If save value does not contain primary key, it will execute Create, otherwise it will execute Update (with all fields).
db.Save(&User{ID: 1, Name: "jinzhu", Age: 100}) // UPDATE `users` SET `name`="jinzhu",`age`=100,`birthday`="0000-00-00 00:00:00",`update_at`="0000-00-00 00:00:00" WHERE `id` = 1
NOTE Don’t use Save with Model, it’s an Undefined Behavior.
更新单个列
When updating a single column with Update, it needs to have any conditions or it will raise error ErrMissingWhereClause, checkout Block Global Updates for details. When using the Model method and its value has a primary value, the primary key will be used to build the condition, for example:
// Update with conditions db.Model(&User{}).Where("active = ?", true).Update("name", "hello") // UPDATE users SET name='hello', updated_at='2013-11-17 21:34:10' WHERE active=true;
// User's ID is `111`: db.Model(&user).Update("name", "hello") // UPDATE users SET name='hello', updated_at='2013-11-17 21:34:10' WHERE id=111;
// Update with conditions and model value db.Model(&user).Where("active = ?", true).Update("name", "hello") // UPDATE users SET name='hello', updated_at='2013-11-17 21:34:10' WHERE id=111 AND active=true;
更新多列
Updates supports updating with struct or map[string]interface{}, when updating with struct it will only update non-zero fields by default
// Update attributes with `struct`, will only update non-zero fields db.Model(&user).Updates(User{Name: "hello", Age: 18, Active: false}) // UPDATE users SET name='hello', age=18, updated_at = '2013-11-17 21:34:10' WHERE id = 111;
// Update attributes with `map` db.Model(&user).Updates(map[string]interface{}{"name": "hello", "age": 18, "active": false}) // UPDATE users SET name='hello', age=18, active=false, updated_at='2013-11-17 21:34:10' WHERE id=111;
NOTE When updating with struct, GORM will only update non-zero fields. You might want to use map to update attributes or use Select to specify fields to update
更新选定字段
If you want to update selected fields or ignore some fields when updating, you can use Select, Omit
// Select with Map // User's ID is `111`: db.Model(&user).Select("name").Updates(map[string]interface{}{"name": "hello", "age": 18, "active": false}) // UPDATE users SET name='hello' WHERE id=111;
db.Model(&user).Omit("name").Updates(map[string]interface{}{"name": "hello", "age": 18, "active": false}) // UPDATE users SET age=18, active=false, updated_at='2013-11-17 21:34:10' WHERE id=111;
// Select with Struct (select zero value fields) db.Model(&user).Select("Name", "Age").Updates(User{Name: "new_name", Age: 0}) // UPDATE users SET name='new_name', age=0 WHERE id=111;
// Select all fields (select all fields include zero value fields) db.Model(&user).Select("*").Updates(User{Name: "jinzhu", Role: "admin", Age: 0})
// Select all fields but omit Role (select all fields include zero value fields) db.Model(&user).Select("*").Omit("Role").Updates(User{Name: "jinzhu", Role: "admin", Age: 0})
更新 Hook
GORM allows the hooks BeforeSave, BeforeUpdate, AfterSave, AfterUpdate. Those methods will be called when updating a record, refer Hooks for details
func(u *User) BeforeUpdate(tx *gorm.DB) (err error) { if u.Role == "admin" { return errors.New("admin user not allowed to update") } return }
批量更新
If we haven’t specified a record having a primary key value with Model, GORM will perform a batch update
// Update with struct db.Model(User{}).Where("role = ?", "admin").Updates(User{Name: "hello", Age: 18}) // UPDATE users SET name='hello', age=18 WHERE role = 'admin';
// Update with map db.Table("users").Where("id IN ?", []int{10, 11}).Updates(map[string]interface{}{"name": "hello", "age": 18}) // UPDATE users SET name='hello', age=18 WHERE id IN (10, 11);
阻止全局更新
If you perform a batch update without any conditions, GORM WON’T run it and will return ErrMissingWhereClause error by default
You have to use some conditions or use raw SQL or enable the AllowGlobalUpdate mode, for example:
db.Model(&User{}).Where("1 = 1").Update("name", "jinzhu") // UPDATE users SET `name` = "jinzhu" WHERE 1=1
db.Exec("UPDATE users SET name = ?", "jinzhu") // UPDATE users SET name = "jinzhu"
db.Session(&gorm.Session{AllowGlobalUpdate: true}).Model(&User{}).Update("name", "jinzhu") // UPDATE users SET `name` = "jinzhu"
更新的记录数
Get the number of rows affected by a update
// Get updated records count with `RowsAffected` result := db.Model(User{}).Where("role = ?", "admin").Updates(User{Name: "hello", Age: 18}) // UPDATE users SET name='hello', age=18 WHERE role = 'admin';
db.Model(&User{ID: 1}).Updates(User{ Name: "jinzhu", Location: Location{X: 100, Y: 100}, }) // UPDATE `user_with_points` SET `name`="jinzhu",`location`=ST_PointFromText("POINT(100 100)") WHERE `id` = 1
根据子查询进行更新
Update a table by using SubQuery
db.Model(&user).Update("company_name", db.Model(&Company{}).Select("name").Where("companies.id = users.company_id")) // UPDATE "users" SET "company_name" = (SELECT name FROM companies WHERE companies.id = users.company_id);
db.Table("users as u").Where("name = ?", "jinzhu").Update("company_name", db.Table("companies as c").Select("name").Where("c.id = u.company_id"))
db.Table("users as u").Where("name = ?", "jinzhu").Updates(map[string]interface{}{"company_name": db.Table("companies as c").Select("name").Where("c.id = u.company_id")})
不使用 Hook 和时间追踪
If you want to skip Hooks methods and don’t track the update time when updating, you can use UpdateColumn, UpdateColumns, it works like Update, Updates
// Update single column db.Model(&user).UpdateColumn("name", "hello") // UPDATE users SET name='hello' WHERE id = 111;
// Update multiple columns db.Model(&user).UpdateColumns(User{Name: "hello", Age: 18}) // UPDATE users SET name='hello', age=18 WHERE id = 111;
// Update selected columns db.Model(&user).Select("name", "age").UpdateColumns(User{Name: "hello", Age: 0}) // UPDATE users SET name='hello', age=0 WHERE id = 111;
返回修改行的数据
Returning changed data only works for databases which support Returning, for example:
// return all columns var users []User db.Model(&users).Clauses(clause.Returning{}).Where("role = ?", "admin").Update("salary", gorm.Expr("salary * ?", 2)) // UPDATE `users` SET `salary`=salary * 2,`updated_at`="2021-10-28 17:37:23.19" WHERE role = "admin" RETURNING * // users => []User{{ID: 1, Name: "jinzhu", Role: "admin", Salary: 100}, {ID: 2, Name: "jinzhu.2", Role: "admin", Salary: 1000}}
GORM provides the Changed method which could be used in Before Update Hooks, it will return whether the field has changed or not.
The Changed method only works with methods Update, Updates, and it only checks if the updating value from Update / Updates equals the model value. It will return true if it is changed and not omitted
func(u *User) BeforeUpdate(tx *gorm.DB) (err error) { // if Role changed if tx.Statement.Changed("Role") { return errors.New("role not allowed to change") }
if tx.Statement.Changed("Name", "Admin") { // if Name or Role changed tx.Statement.SetColumn("Age", 18) }
// if any fields changed if tx.Statement.Changed() { tx.Statement.SetColumn("RefreshedAt", time.Now()) } returnnil }
